Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 22, 2008

Aeroflex has introduced the 3500A 1GHz handheld radio test set, which offers a lighter weight, integrated audio test connections and a microphone interface.

The Aeroflex 3500A has a cast magnesium alloy case, which means it weighs almost 0.5kg less than its predecessor, the 3500.

The 3500A test set weighs less than 3.7kg.

Weight is an important factor for engineers and technicians when performing radio tests in the field.

The Aeroflex 3500A includes testing capabilities for AM and FM radio systems including power measurements, RSSI, frequency error, FM deviation, AM modulation index, Sinad, distortion and AF level.

Optionally, the Aeroflex 3500A supports a single-channel scope and a spectrum analyser for extended testing.

The Aeroflex 3500A is P25 ready for support of P25 testing as additional features are added, and is MIL-28800F Class II certified.
